Join Model

  • companies.company_id = growth_metrics.company_id
  • companies.company_id = channel_performance.company_id
  • companies.company_id = customer_segments.company_id

The dataset is intentionally denormalized with company_name repeated in fact tables so dashboards can still work even if users only import one or two files.

Metric Definitions

revenue

  • Formula: (active_customers * avg_revenue_per_customer) / 30.44
  • Notes: Daily recognized revenue approximation. Summing a full month of revenue reconciles to mrr within ~5%.

mrr

  • Formula: active_customers * avg_revenue_per_customer
  • Notes: Included directly in growth_metrics.csv

cac

  • Formula: marketing_spend / new_customers
  • Notes: Protected from divide-by-zero by generator rules

ltv

  • Formula: (avg_revenue_per_customer * gross_margin_pct) / max(churn_rate, 0.01)
  • Notes: Daily churn rate is floored at 0.01 to avoid unstable LTV spikes on low-churn days.

churn_rate

  • Formula: churned_customers / previous_active_customers

conversion_rate

  • Formula: conversions / clicks

click_through_rate

  • Formula: clicks / impressions

Synthetic Profiles

The generator uses multiple company profiles so the dashboards show realistic differences:

  • steady_plg: strong SEO/content/referral, efficient long-term growth
  • paid_accelerator: aggressive paid acquisition, higher spend and growth
  • enterprise_lumpy: quarter-end deal spikes and lower churn
  • seasonal_b2c: seasonal demand swings
  • churn_recovery: visible churn event followed by recovery
  • capital_infusion: growth acceleration after a mid-period expansion phase
